Spicy Sausage Wrap

Spicy Sausage Wrap

This entree-worthy wrap has it all — protein, vegetable and starch. And all for about $2 per serving.

Ingredients

• 1 pound bulk spicy turkey sausage meat

• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

• 2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced (about 4 cups)

• 8 cups chopped fresh spinach

• 1 tablespoon minced garlic

• 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

• 1 / 3 cup grated parmesan cheese

• Salt and fresh-ground black pepper, to taste

• 6 burrito-size flour tortillas

Method

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage meat 6 minutes until no longer pink. With a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a dish and set aside. Leave any fat in the skillet.

Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the oil and onions, then saute 10 minutes until goldenand softened.

Stir in the spinach and garlic, cover the pan and cook 4 to 6 minutes until the greens are tender. Stir in the mozzarella, parmesan and reserved sausage. Season with salt and pepper.

Divide the filling among the tortillas. Fold in 2 sides of each tortilla and roll up from the bottom to the top. Place the rolls seam-side down in a microwave-safe dish. Heat the wraps in the microwave on high 1 to 2 minutes until heated through. Alternatively, heat the wraps in a 350-degree oven 5 to 7 minutes.

Makes 6 servings.

Note:

Sporting a hearty blend of browned sausage, golden onions, garlicky spinach and Italian cheeses rolled up in a warm flour tortilla, it's also fast, easy andflexible. Substitute different meats, cheeses and greens based on what's on sale.

For a more assertively flavored wrap, substitute arugula for the spinach and shredded provolone for the mozzarella.

If you like, use sweet sausage instead of hot. If you substitute pork for turkey, you may want to drain all but a few tablespoons fat from the pan before adding the onions and greens.
